Ahhh, spring. The season when the sun finally stops ghosting us, the birds are chirping like they’re auditioning for Idols SA, and your house… Well, your house looks like it just survived a Jozi thunderstorm and a toddler birthday party at the same time. If your curtains are judging you and your garage has turned into the Bermuda Triangle of random things, then it’s time.
Time to spring clean, Mzansi style.
So let’s chuck on our tekkies, blast some amapiano, and get your royal residence back to looking lekker.
1. Declutter like you’re on a Netflix show
If you haven’t used it since Zuma’s first term… Toss it, donate it, or repurpose it. That dodgy gym equipment you swore you’d use? That’s not a clothes rack, ou. Be ruthless. Your future self (and your garage) will thank you.
Bonus tip: If you’re scared to let go, pretend you’re moving to a bachelor flat in Braamfontein. Suddenly that spare ironing board doesn’t feel so essential.
2. Raid your fridge like a health inspector
Spring cleaning isn’t just for what the neighbours can see. Open that fridge. Face your fears. If you find something that predates COVID, don’t even sniff it, just bin it. Wipe down the shelves while you’re at it. Oh, and that ‘mystery Tupperware’? We all have 1. Just chuck it.
3. Fight the dust bunnies
Take a deep breath and lift your couch cushions. We guarantee you’ll find:
- R3 in change.
- That earring your friend lost in December.
- Enough crumbs to start a bakery.
Vacuum like you mean it. Shake out the rugs. Give your curtains a good wash. Your sinus will thank you.
4. Give your windows the royal treatment
If your windows are so dirty they’ve got their own tint, it’s time for a proper wipe. Bonus: You’ll finally remember what your garden looks like. And if you’re living that top-floor apartment life, please, be safe. No stunt moves, bru.
5. Garden vibes: Less jungle, more Justine Drake
Trim that lawn. Tame those hedges. Chuck out that dead pot plant you’ve been hoping would ‘miraculously revive’. This is your chance to turn your outdoor space from braai-in-the-bush to braai-in-the-Botanical-Gardens.
Pro tip: If you can’t see your braai stand under the weeds, you’ve gone too far.
6. Do the thing you’ve been ignoring
You know the 1. That broken kitchen drawer. That cupboard that’s holding on by vibes. That dodgy plug that sparks like it’s in a romance drama. Ja, that 1. Fix it. Get the tool kit, call a friend, or better yet, call someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
7. Spring into smart insurance
While you’re cleaning out your home, it’s the perfect time to make sure your stuff is actually insured properly. We’re not saying you’re clumsy… but if your fancy new Smart TV falls during your spring TikTok dance sesh, you’re gonna wish you had the king on your side.

FAQs
1. Why should I do spring cleaning if I already clean regularly?
Spring cleaning is like giving your house a spa day… But for free (well, unless you count the Domestos). It goes beyond your everyday wipe-and-go and tackles the deep stuff: windows, carpets, that haunted drawer full of batteries and mystery cables. Plus, it’s the perfect time to check if your insurance still covers all your precious stuff.
2. Do I really need home contents insurance?
Yebo! If your house burned down tomorrow (touch wood), could you replace your smart TV, fridge, couch, bed, laptop, and your stash of limited-edition sneakers? Home contents insurance from King Price covers the stuff that makes your house a home. Be sure-sure, not just kinda-sure.
3. What does King Price home contents insurance cover?
It covers your home’s contents (shock, horror), like furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, kitchenware… Basically, if you flipped your house upside down, anything that would fall out is covered. Even the dodgy blender you keep ‘just in case’.
4. How do I know if my stuff is insured for the right value?
Make a list of your goodies, check what they’d cost to replace today (not when you bought them during that Black Friday sale), and update your insured value accordingly. Remember, incorrect details = incorrect cover. Don’t be that guy.
5. How can I get a quote or update my policy?
Easy peasy. Visit kingprice.co.za, Whatsapp us, or call our royal family at 0860 50 50 50. One of our knights will sort you out in no time. No scrolls, pigeons or long queues needed.
